You Are Responsible for What You Hear!

But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your owns selves . For any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding (observing) his natural face in a glass (mirror) – James 1:22-23  Every time we hear the Word of God, He holds us responsible for what we hear, we will not be able to make excuses for what we’re doing or not doing when we have heard the Word. God’s desire is for us to live a life daily that will be pleasing to Him. That is why Jesus instructed the disciples then and now, to take up your cross daily and follow Him. Don’t attend church and reject the Word, every time you disobey the Word, you’re rejecting the instructions of God.

Chosen Generation

But ye are a chosen generation, royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praise of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light – 1st Peter 29  Every believer that has been born of the Spirit of God has the privilege and the responsibility of direct access to God through our accepting Jesus as the Son of God and being our Savior, as well as allowing Jesus to be Lord of our life.  We no longer have go to a priest to confess our sins  or ask them to pray for us, we can go directly into the presence of God and make our request, God hears the prayers of the righteous.

Your Body Belongs To God

I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. – Romans 12:1-2 Our bodies belongs to God, God gave His Son, Jesus in order for us to live a life that would be pleasing to God. Jesus didn’t die for us to continue in sin, Grace is given to us so that we will not receive what we deserve. God wants our spirit, soul and body to be holy to Him. Holiness is separating yourselves from the things of the world that causes us to sin against the Word of God.
